Hausi Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Looks nice Rob, is it an RS lid (because of the dent on the left part of the chin area) ? Still so shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 hello there hausi, i got the helmet from a friend who says it is a TE helmet. i am emulating the sergeant cantina version, so i will very carefully remove the paint from the ears and should be good to go...what paint should be used for the blue tue stripes? thank you, rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 May I ask why you want to remove them? They look perfectly alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 are the stripes on the ears ok for the white pauldron trooper in the cantina? on my swat td helmet i currently do not have the ears painted with the grey and black stripe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Okay, you want to build a new SWAT helmet emulating the Cantina Sergeant, didn´t get that before. In that case you will have to get rid of the grey and black enamel paint on those ears. A friend of mine hast tried this product for that purpose: It´s a hand disinfectant and he said that he took a papertowel drenched in the disinfectant and just laid it on the ear for some time, afterwards he was able to rub off the enamel paint. He also said that it will not damage the ABS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
